I grew up in the woods of the Ozarks in Southern Missouri. A tree lives with roots planted in the earth and limbs lifted toward the heavens. I too am trying to grow deep roots while lifting my hands toward God.

You know, I missed that when I read that book....to read some of his books you almost get the feeling he doesn't believe in Hell as such (The Great Divorce) (The Chronicles)...

Maybe the fact that he desires mercy over sacrifice explains that he will extend mercy to us, if we extend it to others...???

Another good question...mercy triumphs over judgement?
